Instructions: How to Make AIR FRYER PIZZA BOMBS

Follow these step-by-step instructions to create crispy, cheesy AIR FRYER PIZZA BOMBS in minutes!

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  1. If using biscuit dough, separate the biscuits and flatten each one slightly with your fingers.
  2. If using pizza dough, roll it out on a floured surface until about ¼-inch thick. Cut into 3×3-inch squares for equal portions.
  3. If using homemade dough, divide it into 12 equal pieces and roll into small circles.

Step 2: Add the Fillings

  1. Place 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce in the center of each dough piece.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
  3. Place 1 or 2 slices of pepperoni (or other toppings) over the cheese.
  4. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and a little parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

Step 3: Shape and Seal

  1. Gather the edges of the dough and pinch them tightly together to seal.
  2. Roll the dough ball gently between your hands to make it smooth.
  3. Make sure the seams are sealed completely to prevent filling leakage during cooking.

Step 4: Prepare the Air Fryer

  1. Lightly grease the air fryer basket or use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.

Step 5: Cook the Pizza Bombs

  1. Place the sealed dough balls seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Leave space between each one for even cooking.
  2. Cook at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  3. The pizza bombs are ready when they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 6: Add Finishing Touches

  1. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, and chopped parsley.
  2. Brush the warm pizza bombs with the butter mixture for extra flavor.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!

  1. Let the AIR FRYER PIZZA BOMBS cool for a minute before serving.
  2. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as marinara, ranch, or garlic butter.

Now, enjoy these crispy, cheesy pizza bombs as a snack, appetizer, or party treat! 🍕🔥
